Shadow Shot: Statue


Click to enlarge


This was taken at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). The top floor had a cafe and outdoor area with this statue that I thought was interesting. Although this is my first time participating in Shadow Shot Sunday, it is not my first time in photography memes. Enjoy.

Ever seen Pan's Labyrinth? Although nothing like the Pale Man, I could see this guy creepily coming to life if I took any food from the café

PS - I already had a shadow shot!

It is very interesting. It makes for an great shadow shot! I find the texture creepy. I'm a nurse and it makes me think of burn patients. Interesting texture choice.
BTW...welcome to SSS:D

thanks for all the comments!
regarding creepiness:
i think the black and white adds to this. definitely, while i was there, and in context of real life, it did not seem "creepy" at all... but i can see how the mood of this photo translates to creepy.. and burn victim? i can see that..
